McCarthy triggers liberal reporters with ‘modern-day Watergate’ assertion that could lead to Obama
McCarthy tweeted a clip of an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“The FBI broke into President Trump’s campaign, spied on him, then tried to cover it up. This is a modern-day Watergate,” the tweet read, paraphrasing his remarks in the clip.
“It’s a modern-day coup, the closest this country’s ever came to,” McCarthy adds in the clip. “But the only way you can compare this to is Watergate. They broke into his campaign by bringing people into it. They had been trying to cover it up for the whole time. Now the question rises, just like Watergate, who knew? When did they know it? And how high did this go up?”
Suffice it to say, with an assertion that could include former President Barack Obama, the left lost it’s collective mind, with the media leading the way to insist McCarthy is lying.
But then, when you consider that an FBI attorney doctored an email to essentially manufacture evidence to ensure a FISA warrant would be obtained to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, you get a sense of why McCarthy was saying the FBI “broke into” the campaign.
As the old saying goes, “You know you are over the target when the flak is heaviest.”
And, boy, oh, boy, the flak was coming hard and heavy from the big guns, to include the prerequisite charge that McCarthy is a “Russian asset.”
Here’s but a small sampling of the umbrage on the left from Twitter:
Virginia Sheriff Chad Cubbage: ‘My Staff And I Stand Ready To Protect The Citizens Of Page County From Their Rights Being Infringed Upon’
A Virginia sheriff told Fox News host Tucker Carlson that he and his staff are “ready to protect” his county’s citizens from their Second Amendment rights being “infringed upon.”
Sheriff Chad Cubbage appeared on Monday night’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to discuss strong local reactions against the proposal of several restrictive gun control bills in the wake of Democrats winning control of both state houses.
“We are hopeful that our legislators are listening,” Cubbage said in response to Carlson’s question about what he ultimately planned to do if the laws are passed. “We are having town hall meetings here throughout the Shenandoah Valley and we are having thousands of people show up to these town hall meetings to voice their concerns. We just really hope that they are listening in Richmond and our legislators will not go through with these bills.”
The Page County sheriff told Tucker that so-called “assault weapons” aren’t a problem in his county, adding that the proposed “unconstitutional” bills would inhibit such practices as even a parent “taking their child out to hunt at an early age.”
The Fox News host brought up Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s veiled threat to bring in the national guard to enforce state gun laws. To which Cubbage replied:
‘Being Nice’ A ‘Tool Of White Supremacy,’ Female Racial Activists Warn
A group promoting “painfully honest conversations between white women and BIWOC (Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color)” claimed Thursday that white women’s “obsession” with “being nice” is a “tool of white supremacy.”
“White women’s obsession with ‘being nice’ is one of the most dangerous tools of white supremacy,” Race2Dinner posted on their Twitter account on Thursday.
White women's obsession with "being nice" is one of the most dangerous tools of white supremacy.
509 people are talking about this
As reported by The Daily Wire in May, Race2Dinner leaders Regina Jackson and Saira Rao created the organization to offer white women an opportunity to “smash” their “white fragility” by hiring women of color to attend dinner with as they’re guilt-tripped for all the alleged suffering they have caused them by virtue of being white.
The “mission” of the group is to “reveal the naked truth about RACISM in America and UNLEASH YOUR POWER as white women to dismantle it.”
“[W]hite women: We are talking about your complicity in upholding white supremacy and keeping us Brown and Black women down,” the Race2Dinner website details. “Our goal is to reveal white privilege, power, control and your complicity in all of the above.

Bluetooth: Why Modern Tech is Named After Powerful King of Denmark and Norway
Harald “Blåtand” Gormsson was a King of Denmark and Norway who lived during the 10th century AD. He was responsible for the unification of Denmark. Following this feat, Harald set his sights beyond the borders of his own kingdom, and conquered Norway. Whilst the majority of his subjects were followers of paganism, Harald was favorably inclined towards Christianity. He did what he could to promote this foreign faith within his kingdom. Today, Harald Blåtand (‘Bluetooth’) is a household name thanks to the wireless technology standard named after him.

Unifying Denmark
The exact year of Harald’s birth is unknown, though it is traditionally taken to have been in 910/911 AD. Harald was the son of King Gorm the Old and Queen Thyra. Gorm the Old was the first king in a new line of Danish kings, i.e. House of Knýtlinga (‘Cnut’s Descendants’), or the House of Gorm, and had commenced the unification of Denmark during his reign. As his power base was established in Jelling, in northern Jutland, this royal family is sometimes known also as the Jelling Dynasty. Harald’s mother was Thyra, the daughter of a nobleman from Sunderjylland (Schleswig in modern day Germany). Whilst Gorm was a devout follower of the Norse gods, Thyra was inclined towards Christianity, and it has been speculated that this contributed to the future king’s favorable view of this foreign religion.

When Gorm died, probably in 935 AD, Harald became the new king. He began his reign by continuing with the effort to unify Denmark, which was left unfinished by his father. He succeeded in doing so, and proceeded to build up the defenses of his kingdom by strengthening the existing fortifications and building new ones. In addition, Harald instituted a policy of tolerance towards Christians, and even allowed the Christian faith to be spread amongst his subjects.
Advancing Christianity
Having attained peace within his realm, Harald could now focus on issues outside his kingdom. In 954 AD, Erik Bloodaxe, the (former) King of Norway, was killed in battle during a campaign in Northumberland, England. His wife, Gunnhild, who was also...
